Thanks for pointing that out. I will now try to attach photos from my ideas book. First time doing this.

Hi Nirudu. Congrats on the purchase! I have lived in London for a decade and understand your query. As you know homes are compact in London and with the gloomy weather almost year round, developers tend to go for the standard magnolia for the walls and white for the ceiling for maximum light refection, at the same time give a warm atmosphere during night with warm white lights complementing the magnolia walls. I would suggest you keep the rooms nice and bright but instead use pop up colours in your furnishings to personalise your home. Example:

Hi Richa, track lights are in right now and alot of people are moving towards using the same in their houses. I suggest that you use them in your living room as its a public space and will give a good show in that area. but keep in mind that while using track lights, you will have to stick to some particular styles. giving you some ideas of how to use them without overdoing the same. you can use it with a combination of other down lights like deep recessed COBs for more brightness and ambience without overusing tracks as it may look bad if overused. you can also clad laminate on the ceiling and use black tracks to give it a very fresh and modern look. rustic ceilings are also an amazing combination to use with track lights you can also use individual cylindrical surface fitting light without using a track at different locations. also, a minimum false ceiling will only be required to conceal the wiring (1.5"-2") COBs require 4"-5" ceiling to conceal the fitting body but not the case of surface fitting lights. hope this info helps. feel free to contact us in case any more doubts! regards, Rajvi

pendant lights looks nice only if place above a table like a breakfast nook or island. hanging them freely does not complement their look. since there is no island under the ceiling try to embed recessed lights in the ceiling. alternatively track lights will also look great if you need brightness.
